Jesus loving hell, it's obvious the person who wrote that email is not from the united states. Don't gently caress with whoever this professor is, it's not him, and you'll just be harrassing some innocent guy.

Yeah, hey, if you'd've paid more attention, you'd've noticed the dude is living in Terre Haute AND he's from Thailand AT THE SAME TIME. How bout that? Damnedest thing.

Have you been to college? I can't remember ever having a Calc teacher I could understand.

One of my circuitry teachers spoke no english. His TA was a translator.

Yeah, the ascii wave is from a user called "fersanmur" for instance. We gently caress your privacy laws here in the states.

Hey, we've already established that he's a bad scammer. Even if he's using an internet cafe, we can still locate the IP, and if it's in Belgium, it's probably not our Indianan professor.

But guess what? We don't give a poo poo, and all we're interested in is ruining this guy's day. So gently caress off and let us have our fun.

Dork.

I knew if I stuck around long enough I'd find out why the internet was made.

edit: I never had a reason to like the British. But I like the British now. Next time I'm overseas I'm buying everyone involved all the beer I can afford.

That explains everything. He chose a random post box, and probably picks up once a week. I think our guy is going to be hard to track.

If I weren't a continent away, I would quit my job and spend every waking moment waiting for that fucker to come get his three-ring binder. He's got to show up sometime, especially with Jeff poking at him about it.

So to recap, the current thinking is that the barber is just being used as a drop off point and the actual scammer is most likely a Romanian with connections in American Interior Design circles?

I know Elmore Leonard is reading this thread and scribbling furiously. Somewhere.

It won't go back to the sender unless the sender pays for return shipping. Remember Jeff said the Lady at the shipping place said that if it doesn't get delivered it will get shipped back, but it has to be paid for?

I personally guarantee he would make his money back by putting the P-p-p-powerbook up for auction on ebay.

I bought rhig's custom title before I realized that Jeff doesn't have his back yet. SOMEONE NEEDS TO HELP JEFF OUT.

Unfortunately, I'm not anywhere as cool as whoever bought pipski's, so he's still got the best custom title in the history of the forums. But I tried, rhig, I tried.
